Welcome Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+

Earlier this year we introduced Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ and now it is time again to introduce lastest member of the Raspberry Pi family. Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+. This model can be considered as the middle child of Raspberry Pi family in terms of form factor. This one is larger than a Raspberry Pi Zero but yet smaller than a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+.

Side by Side View of Model B+ and Model A+

But don't let the size fool you. It has the following specifications:

A 1.4GHz 64-bit quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 CPU

512MB LPDDR2 SDRAM

Dual-band 802.11ac wireless LAN and Bluetooth 4.2/BLE

Improved USB mass-storage booting

Improved thermal management

It has the same features such as a full size HDMI port, 40 GPIO pins, CSI camera port, DSI display port, etc. and is priced at USD 25.

On the downside this model has only 1 USB Port as opposed to 4 of Model A+ also doesn't have an Ethernet Port. But yet seems like a good deal for the price. See the product walkthrough below.
